L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Il-festa tal-konsagrazzjoni tat-tempju kienet festa għażiża ħafna minn dejjem għall-poplu Lhudi. Kienet festa li tfakkar ukoll ir-rebħa tal-poplu Lhudi fuq tentattiv li tnessihom il-fidi ta’ missirijiethom. Kienet it-tifkira ta’ meta l-Makkabej reġgħu ħadu t-tempju f’idejhom u kkonsagrawh lill-Mulej.

F’dan il-kuntest il-Lhud jistaqsu lil Ġesù dwar l-identità tiegħu: “Jekk inti l-Messija għidilna ċar u tond” (Ġw 10:24). Il-Mulej fir-risposta tiegħu ma jiċħadx imma jikkonferma l-identità tiegħu… Read more »

L-Omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi

Meta Ġesù jsemmi r-ragħaj it-tajjeb, u jgħid li hu r-Ragħaj it-Tajjeb, jitkellem fuq diversi karatteristiċi ta’ dan ir-ragħaj it-tajjeb. Imma fl-Evanġelju tal-lum hemm karatteristika waħda li jenfasizza: “Ir-ragħaj it-tajjeb jagħti ħajtu għan-ngħaġ tiegħu”. Ħames darbiet isemmi fl-Evanġelju tal-lum din l-għotja.

Meta nisimgħu l-kliem “jagħti ħajtu”, mal-ewwel niftakru f’Ġesù fuq is-salib. Hemmhekk verament għandna l-milja ta’ din l-għotja. Fuq is-salib jagħti ħajtu, imut, biex aħna jkollna l-ħajja… Read more »
